HABO – Help A Brother Out!

Dec 5, 2011 by aacadmin

Help A Brother Out is the AAC’s professional development program involving matching Atlanta-area Brothers with other Brothers for jobs, mentoring, development opportunities and more!

We are looking at involving the collegiate chapters in this initiative in order to prepare them for their professional life after graduation and continue to help Brothers all along as they are involved in the Atlanta Alumni Chapter.

The networking-ability of the AAC is a huge asset and having Brothers who have served many roles, both inside the Fraternity as well as outside in their own companies is a great benefit to new and returning Brothers.

Young Professional Recruitment Committee

Sep 28, 2011 by aacadmin

Recently, many young professionals have gotten involved in the Atlanta Alumni Chapter. Our chapter has noticed, however, there needs to be a coordinated effort to draw in the recent college grads into the organization. In order to achieve this goal, a Young Professional Recruitment Committee is being organized and we’d love for our 20-something members to become involved! This committee will focus on recruiting graduating seniors from chapters within our region and local young brothers through chapter visits, events held in Atlanta, and increased marketing efforts.

If this sounds like something you may be interested in or if you have any questions, please send an e-mail to Katie Wood at kewooduga@gmail.com.
